Upload folder to Final Cut Server
If you upload a Final Cut Studio project and its media files as a bundle asset, the media
and project files are not available to be viewed from within Final Cut Server. To access
the media assets, you must check out the bundle asset and access the media files from
inside the folder.
Important: If a Final Cut Studio project and its media files are uploaded as a bundle asset
to a device that has been automated by your Final Cut Server administrator to scan for
new assets, the files in the bundle asset will be analyzed and new assets will be created
for each file in the bundle. If you upload a Final Cut Studio project and its media files as
a bundle asset and then notice new assets have been created for the files in the bundle,
contact your Final Cut Server administrator.
To upload a Final Cut Studio project file and its media files as a bundle asset
1 In the Final Cut Studio application, save the project and choose to collect the media. In
Motion and Soundtrack Pro, you can do this by choosing File > Save As and choosing to
collect the media in the Save As dialog. In DVD Studio Pro, you need to manually place
the project and media files in a folder.
For specific information about using Motion, Soundtrack Pro, or DVD Studio Pro, see the
application’s user manual.
Important: When uploading a DVD Studio Pro project file and its linked media files, there
is no need to upload .par files. When you check out and open the project in
DVD Studio Pro, the .par files will be automatically re-created.
